What is CBT-I?

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia

CBT-I is the leading, evidence-based treatment for chronic insomnia—and it works without the need for sleeping pills. Instead of masking the symptoms, CBT-I addresses the root causes of sleep difficulties by helping you reset unhealthy sleep patterns, calm an overactive mind, and rebuild a healthy relationship with sleep. Through structured, personalized strategies, your CBT-I trained therapist will support you in reducing sleeplessness, managing nighttime anxiety, and overcoming behaviours that keep you stuck in the cycle of poor sleep.
